  • Publication number: 20210187825
    Abstract: A substantially continuous, entwined filamentary feedstock for additive manufacturing processes and fused filament fabrication (“FFF”) equipment is provided. Generally, the entwined filamentary feedstocks may contain a plurality of filaments and comprise a diameter suited for use in FFF and three-dimensional printers. Typically, the entwined feedstocks may comprise at least one filament forming a core and one or more filaments entwined around this core.

  • Publication number: 20210047756
    Abstract: The present application is generally concerned with polyester-based fibers, which exhibit enhanced resistance to breakage and attritional wear. More particularly, the inventive fibers may be especially aimed at textile applications, wherein the inventive fibers may reduce the propensity of the textile materials to produce microplastic and nanoplastic particles during use and during laundering or other cleaning operations, which are a known pollution hazard in the natural environment.

  • Publication number: 20190147843
    Abstract: The present invention is generally concerned with the use of a sheet lamination method to produce sheet-form materials with controlled cellular architecture, which may be used as vibration damping and/or sound attenuation materials. The materials described herein can exhibit superior vibration damping and/or sound attenuation properties compared to existing materials available in the industry. The method for the present invention involves the successive lamination of a series of films of polymer or composite material in which a plurality of apertures has been created. In such embodiments, the apertures can be of varying sizes in successive films and be positioned in such a manner that a plurality of three-dimensional cells are created in the final sheet-form material.

  • Publication number: 20090082476
    Abstract: A process for producing a synthetic fiber composition with reclaimed post consumer carpet yam, wherein face yam is shaved from post consumer carpet using a shaving device to provide shaved face yam, the shaved face yam is reduced in size, contaminants are removed using mechanical screeners, the shave face yam is melt filtered, and then fiber spun.
